    From Capirossi:-

    "It's a shame because today was a wasted opportunity," sighed the
    Italian, who eventually finished sixth. "I made a mistake when I chose
    my tyre allocation on Thursday. I decided to trust one type of
    construction that worked very well last year, especially getting into
    the corners. But unfortunately it wasn't competitive from the early
    stages of today's race. I used a harder compound and it didn't work so
    well.

    How real is that or is it an excuse? I have to say I don't like the way
    the tyre rules currently work. I agree with the approach to level the
    playing field between Bridgestone and Michelin. But I think the current
    rules go too far.

    I also noticed the Yamaha pit had foil over their fuel tanks in the pits
    before the race as though they were trying to pack in every last drop. I
    think the current fuel rules are also confusing the picture.

    Are we getting F1 style boring spread out races because MotoGp have
    adopted F1 style boring regulations?
